Series

Season 1

She first appears in the episode "The Black-Mud Swamp" where she was part of Palladium's class, she notified her teacher about a bug bite and Palladium points out that it is a swamp and that it is just a bug. However, she still points to where the bug had bit her and it flusters him.

When the Hunting Troll that Knut had used to find Bloom and Stella at Gardenia was set free while it was on a Red Fountain aircraft, thanks to the Trix, it surrounded her, Amaryl, and another fairy. The Winx intervened and distracted the monster while the Specialists tries to recapture it but failed. She was there while Amaryl mocks the Specialists and continues their way through the swamp.

During the events following the Trix's success on stealing Bloom's powers, Red Fountain's students and staff had joined Alfea, while continuing the fight against the Army of Darkness there. After some quiet time from all the minor invasions, Tecna, Flora, and Musa were sitting on the grass and talking about the current events. Musa wanted a normal school but Tecna tells her to look at it positively; being part of history and fighting alongside the greatest wizards and fairies and creating new spells that could never be re-cast. It is then that she and Ortensia come up to them and express their feelings about how upset they are by this whole thing. However, Musa and Flora was able to convince them that they are all part of the team and that they will eventually win this battle.

In "The Witches' Downfall", she fights alongside the students and teachers of the magic schools when the Trix began their incursion with the Army of Darkness. She later celebrates the addition of the world "Winx" into fairy vocabulary with her classmates.
